Cut a Foster holly tree a few days ago; planted it forty years ago; improved the view from the deck.:https://soi-falstaff.hyperchat.com/h1.jpg
Might as well make a seat. Mom visiting Thursday, pianist from church, AND, thirteen year old grand niece; she likes to drive the golf cart and pick blueberries.

Mom says thirteen year old complains about being in prison in her two homes; parents are separated, dual custody and both live in cities, dang shame; well, she is staying with us a few days, and can stay outside, watch the fireflies come out, go to the creek swimming; I like what Wordsworth said about his childhood, "Fair seed time had my soul."

Happy Juneteenth tomorrow and Soltice Thursday.
The place looks great!I used to run through the wheat field way back behind our house when I was 4 or 5. The lightning bugs would glow in the wheat and fly up as I ran. It was magical.
I love your flowers!
I wanna see those marigolds!
Smiles reading the sweet comments Fireflies, lightning bugs, whatever you choose to call them, to me, they are magical, coming out at dusk, usually three to fifteen feet off the ground, lighting their little tails off, signaling the serene, and MAGICAL, a shimmering, pulsating, flying, hovering, LIGHT SHOW.
Yeah, I want to see fireflies, too!
Happy Juneteenth, Panurge, my friend, i came to check on my cleome fans grins
Imagine you had mixed emotions about cutting the tree.Everything looks nice and healthy.
Enjoy the visit.
That view across to the mountain is so peaceful isn't it? I find that if I'm anxious or cross, a drive up into the mountains where I live will almost immediately restore my equanimity.
I hope your grand niece enjoys the freedom of her time with you, and will return home restored and feeling happier.
Always love your patch. Calms my soul and makes me sigh wistfully. My patch is mostly clay and dry and well its not great for anything. But I been told I can kill an artificial plant haha
I have never ever seen a firefly in person ... some day.
I just want to sit in your back yard and pet Otis
and watch for fireflies !!
It's a wonderful time of the year!
Fireflies! We saw some tonight, sitting out back.We refer to them as "squeezybutts" based on that Calvin and Hobbes strip. Smile
They squoze splendidly.
It’s nice to hear you, Lord of your realm and how welcoming you and your lands are.
~leaving hugs and treats for Otis~
